Performance
The powerful Harvia electric heater heats your sauna to 70°C in ~20 minutes, reaching 80–90°C+ with extended use (conditions may vary).
Add water to the hot stones for a more intense, traditional steam experience. Pre-set the heater to warm up in advance, and enjoy efficient running costs of $1 or less per hour.
The curved design and additional ventilation circulates heat evenly for a consistent, authentic session.
Installation
Our saunas are designed for achievable DIY assembly with 1–2 people and appropriate building skills. Pre-cut components and clear instructions are included; you’ll need a battery drill, level and ratchet straps. Allow around one full day for assembly, plus time for finishing touches such as timber oiling.
Preparation requires a solid, level base such as concrete or decking, alongside a licensed electrician to connect the heater and lighting.
Prefer professional installation? We can recommend independent installers in most locations Australia-wide, with options that may include delivery, assembly, timber oiling and clean-up.
Care Guide
Cedar is naturally durable, moisture-resistant, and ages beautifully to a silver-grey patina without losing performance.
To maintain its rich tone, oil the exterior once a year with a breathable wood oil (like Linseed or Feast Watson®). Light sanding can refresh the surface if needed.
The sauna design sheds water efficiently, and roof shingles add extra protection. Ongoing upkeep is minimal: occasional sweeping, a quick wipe-down, and periodic checks of rocks and steel bands.
Delivery
We offer free shipping* across most of Australia or easy pickup from our Brisbane warehouse (Northgate).

Canadian Western Red Cedar is the global gold standard for premium saunas, offering the perfect balance of sensory luxury and outdoor durability:
- The Ultimate Sensory Experience: As the sauna heats, the timber releases that deep, unmistakable cedar aroma, creating a truly immersive, spa-like sanctuary.
- Flawless Premium Grade: We use 38mm clear-grade cedar, which is kiln-dried and selected for consistency. It contains fewer knots and imperfections than rustic alternatives.
- Natural Resilience: It is inherently resistant to moisture, decay, and insects—demanding no harsh chemical treatments or heavy maintenance.
- Stays Cool to the Touch: Cedar features incredibly low heat transfer, ensuring the benches remain perfectly comfortable against your skin even at peak temperatures.
It is a timber chosen not just for its enduring strength, but for how it makes you feel the moment you step inside.
Yes. Elevate Saunas are engineered for straightforward DIY assembly.
- The Setup: The project requires two people with basic building confidence and takes approximately one full day.
- Tools Needed: You will only need standard tools, including a battery drill, level, and ratchet straps. Pre-cut components and clear instructions are fully included.

Our traditional saunas use premium Harvia electric heaters. These require a dedicated hardwired circuit installed by a licensed electrician.The electrical requirements depend directly on your chosen heater size:
- 4.5kW Heater: Typically 20-amp, single-phase
- 6.0kW Heater: Typically 32-amp, single-phase
- 8.0kW Heater: Typically 40-amp, single-phase
Note: Larger or custom configurations may vary. We recommend arranging an electrical consultation prior to ordering to ensure your property's switchboard can seamlessly support your chosen heater.
Yes. The Harvia heater uses volcanic sauna stones, and adding water to the heated stones creates the steam and humidity associated with a traditional Finnish sauna experience.
Elevate Saunas are designed for straightforward, low-maintenance ownership. A few simple habits will keep your sanctuary in pristine condition:
- After each session: Run the heater briefly to dry out moisture. Wipe down benches, and leave the door securely propped open to ventilate.
- Interior care: Wipe timber regularly with a damp cloth or a mild vinegar-and-water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaps.
- Exterior care: Left natural, Canadian Western Red Cedar beautifully weathers to a silver-grey.
- Colour maintenance: To retain the original warm timber tones, apply a breathable exterior oil (like Feast Watson Natural Wood Shield) roughly once a year.
With basic ventilation and care, your sauna will remain a clean, welcoming retreat for years to come.
Pre-ordering secures your sauna from an upcoming shipment that has already been manufactured, paid for, and is currently on its way.
- Secure with a Deposit: A $1,000 refundable deposit locks in your unit from the incoming stock.
